King James I (Britain) and VI (Scotland)
King James, the son of Mary Queen of Scots, has two Roman numerals which appear behind his name. James I means that he was the first "James" to rule Britain. James VI means that he was the sixth "James" to rule Scotland. This painting, of King James I/VI, is by Paul van Somer.
